Band to sleeve person here, I agree with everyone else. She's too tight. Tell her doc to take saline out and shut up about it. ;o)

The band got me to goal, the sleeve will keep me there.

Same thing happened to me. In my case I was too tight, had acid reflux and then my pouch got swollen which in turn made me have MORE acid reflux and vomitting. So, she should really be partially unfilled. I would not go in and have a tiny unfill like I've seen a couple people say. I would unfill like 1.0 cc's and let everything calm down in there and then in 2 weeks (that's how long it took me) go back and refill a little.  Tell her good luck! I hated being too tight. It's an awful experience.

I agree with Kate-I have had my band for two plus years and if I eat before going to bed I get reflux-simply anatomy related-I love my restriction-but I do have to work with it-Best wishes
